  1. It’s amazing how many “anti-hate” people spew the biggest amount of intolerant comments. Where I’m from, that’d warrant giving them a fat lip.

  4. Bruce, if it had been me, I would have laughed and moved on. My mother doesn’t have that thick of a skin, however, so I’d choose not to give the person any more attention than they deserve. This person apparently is proud that they live in new York and loves labels. That sounds like a total bore of a person who has some serious issues. And what they said was inappropriate and disgusting.

  7. My native New Yorker experience is such that I don’t even like going out to eat in this town anymore because people just like “Marisol” are seemingly everywhere, screaming across the dining rooms, “Bush sucks”, to each other and leaving 10% tips as one final insult before moving on.

  8. “wasn’t calling someone a “slut” supposed to be grounds for the severest of sanctions (and sanctimony)”

    Surely, by now you know better than that, Daniel.

  10. You’re in good company: Breitbart, Michelle Malkin, Jonah Goldberg, Mark Steyn… Cool!

    Liberals can be insanely vicious people. I’ll admit to intemperate thoughts from time to time but, unlike your lovely and gracious correspondent, know when to keep my thoughts to myself.

  12. Bruce, if it had been me, I would have laughed and moved on.

    Of course. Being to the left of Bruce, you would most naturally have a tendency to discount (or gloss over) instances of left-wing hate. They would seem atypical or otherwise unimportant, in your way of viewing the world. Many, if not most, people’s minds operate that way.

    But that doesn’t make it go away.

  16. Richard, sorry to hear about your experiences in New York. My partnerand I go to the City all the time, and usually do not experience that type of hate, from either the right or the left. Most hate usually regards sports team preferences. I can’t state for certainty about the tipping though. Anecdotally, bartenders have said that tips are pretty good for the most part. The offenders, as they see it, are usually foreign visitors from countries where tipping is not customary, who feign ignorance on tipping customs here.

  17. If hate really is based on fear then she must be terrified of gay people who can think for themselves. Oh, wait, just caught the part where she says she’s a liberal. Explains why it scares her.

  18. P.P.S. $5 says this Marisol character doesn’t actually care about women’s *rights*.

    Her profile says she does. And of course I don’t really know; this is just a bet/guess. But my guess is, she’s only pro-abortion and pro-socialism; neither of which have to do with “rights”, under any accurate conception (so to speak) of the word.

    My guess is that she’ll demonstrate for the Koret foundation to support Planned Parenthood, say, or for Obamacare… but not to support Ayaan Hirsi Ali, or for free speech rights (actual rights) for women in Afghanistan or Iran. My guess is that she glosses over the baby-killing involved in abortion, and the theft involved in socialism, by just calling it “women’s rights”.

  20. I tweeted to Marisol to apologize. I don’t think she will. But, it was worth a shot, at least. I can’t control her behavior, but I can control how I react to it. The tweet to Bruce was just plain wrong. And to drag his mother into it achieved an even lower run of classlessness. Marisol, to my knowledge, has never even met Bruce. And, even if she had, to stoop to such a place of publicly making such a comment shows how ignorant and self-righteous she is. She’s an embarrassment to herself and her family, which is ironic, considering it sounds like that was what she was trying to say about Bruce. Whatever, she’s a tool. Hopefully, she’s just young and dumb and will eventually wise up. Such behavior doesn’t age well.

  22. Vince,

    No need to intercede with Marisol. There was no momentary lapse, no misunderstanding, no sudden onset of Turrets. Marisol is determinably anti-hate when Marisol’s hate detector flushes out a conservative whom Marisol convicts on the mere hint of suspicion of hate. However, liberals, being above crass hatred, are a ready audience for Marisol’s damnation informed by enlightened judgment. This is how “hate” crimes are adjudicated. Only the enlightened can see the light. Everyone else is a dim, knuckle-dragging villager carrying a pitchfork or torch. We idiots and fools in desperate need of being dragged kicking and screaming into the statist future understand this.

  24. Helio,

    You are correct. But, I doubt you are surprised. Her response was to google search something she could hold against me in retaliation. She tried to compare a comment I made last week about Gwyneth Paltrow while expressing my admiration for Blythe Danner on a random site dissecting celebrities.

    So, apparently, she considers me saying Danner has “GOOP on her hands” on a post about Paltrow is the same thing as her hunting down Bruce and personally attacking him and his mother with expletives. I don’t see the comparison. Maybe you and/or somebody else on here does.

    Sorry about all this talk about celebrities, it’s probably making your head spin.

  26. What a day, tweeps! Got into it with a bunch of cons and a lib b/c I didn’t document correctly when I tweeted someone w/o proof it was that person who actually said it. I apologized but it didn’t go over well either. Anywho, tomorrow’s another day. I’ll try & do better.

    I don’t understand what she means about “when I tweeted someone without proof it was that person who actually said it.” Huh? Can someone break this down for me? My reading comprehension skills are limited.

    And, she said she apologized. Did she?

  27. P.P.S. $5 says this Marisol character doesn’t actually care about women’s *rights*.

    No, she probably doesn’t. Progressives don’t care about “rights,” they care about power and, by extension, making sure the “victims,” who give them power, remain victims. That is why they are always inventing new “rights” that they convince the “victims” they are entitled to (and that they are second-class citizens until they have) and calling anyone who opposes those “rights” bigoted or some such thing.

    But I’m just pointing out the obvious. This “tolerant” hippie chick could prove her commitment to women’s rights by putting down the joint and supporting unborn females’ right to life.

  28. Cinesnatch, I don’t think reading comprehension skills would help in deciphering that comment. It is utterly nonsensical (I’m not sure if your comment is sincere or sarcastic; my ability to determine such things is lacking). Also, thanks for your decency.

  29. Are you kidding me?

    WOW.

    On my end. I would have shown it to my mother. She’s half Sicilian and raise in New England / New York. I learned all the proper curse words from her and much more, and I would have loved to see her rely. Let’s just say… Um… It would have been quite colorful and definitely NOT safe for work!!!!! 🙂

  31. This is @ItsMeMarisol. To @GayPatriot, I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the tweet I sent you this morning, and to tour morher as well. You and some of your followers and readers here have raked me over the coals, and deservedly so. Contrary to what some of you or all of you may believe, I was raised to respect others and I know what I said was completely offensive, uncalled for and out of line. Again, I apologize.

  33. ItsMeMarisol – I’m not Gay Patriot and have no position to accept the apology, but by coming here and apologizing, you have at the very least done more than most in this situation. I am wondering, what exactly set you off? I am one of the GP commenters who doesn’t always agree with the POV’s here, but I can’t figure out what Gay Patriot could have written to elicit such a response.

    PS. I don’t Twitter, so I can’t follow the thread. Plus, I don’t have the time to do so.

  35. ItsMeMarisol: I’m with sonicfrog; since I’m not Dan, I can’t accept the apology on his behalf, but speaking for myself you have shown yourself to be a decent person in stepping up and making one. Thank you.

  37. Marisol, who deems herself to be anti-hate, anti-ignorance and anti-supidity tweets Bruce to say

    “do me a favor- this mother’s day, thank your “slut” of a mother for opening her “puta” legs to f**k so you could be born, ok?

    This clearly hateful, ignorant and stupid tweet caused Marisol to return @ #31 to apologize:

    I want to offer my sincerest apologies for the tweet I sent you this morning, and to tour morher as well.

    Personally, I appreciate that Marisol owns up to the fact that she was raised better than her comments indicate and that she realizes her gross and despicable abuse of Bruce’s mother. That is a very unusual admission coming from the Letterman, Maher, Olbermann, Behar, etc. crowd of jackanapes.

    The liberal disease, as we know, is one of double standards in which they hiss and shout down and belittle and smear instead of debate.

    As a Christian, I am gratified that Marisol has admitted her error and taken personal responsibility for it. Now, in combating the evil that she knows is in her, she has the obligation to fight it and move forward in a more civil, tempered and intelligent manner.

    Marisol has embarked on a good thing. Let us all encourage her to rise above her base instincts and to take the higher road.

  40. ILC @ #38,

    The thought crossed my mind as well. Either way, if Marisol comes across my comments, she has the rules of the game before her. Lessons in civics do not cause civility to happen.

  41. Let’s just say… Um… It would have been quite colorful and definitely NOT safe for work!!!!!

    But does it have the same impact without the hand gestures? 😉
